What is it about 1) men 2) men in positions of power 3) people who should know better 4) people funded by you and me, that makes them think it is OK to behave in this appalling way? I have never come across this type of behaviour in the lesser mortals [ironic] emoticon of my experience- they do not snort cocaine, indulge in under age orgies, fiddle their expenses or bring shame on their families.

"Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely" or something?

Cameron is about to announce new peers which will take the numbers over 800. They are entitled to up to £300 per day for simply signing in -no active part necessary - plus expenses of up to about £30000 per year.

Looking at the latest disgusting scandel- apparently he is refusing to resign!!!!! Do grans think reform is far overdue?
